It seems this will be quite slow and difficult to configure. It doesn't work well with current web standards.
Yes, if you have a phone line you can obtain DSL. DSL offers higher speeds compared to dial-up. Consider how quickly you need internet and explore running your own fiber connection to the closest ISP.
I've been informed that DSL isn't available locally, along with fibre. That leaves me with two choices: dial-up or satellite. To make a well-informed decision, I need to understand which option is more environmentally friendly. Another possibility is using the internet through my cellular plan, which offers unlimited data. I've switched providers from MTN to BellGo Telus and each time the offer improved, making me eligible. I could set up a home hotspot using my mobile service. I remember they previously offered 3G hotspots with cellular data, but I should verify the tethering limits. Personally, I don't recall the original limit being 200MB in 2011, though it seems to have increased over time.
Cellular should definitely outperform dailup or other similar services by a significant margin.
The satellite connection is slow for uploading, but it has always been that way.
Yeah. Things have changed. HughsNet, one of the US satellite providers, claims they can offer 25/3 service. Dial-up simply can't reach 3 Mbps, so yeah. I guess they no longer use dial-up. The usage limits are ridiculous—10, 20, 30, or 50 gigabits, and if you exceed them, your speed drops to 1 to 3 Mbps. That's not good. I'd rather not have internet at all by then.
Most of the US land area, excluding population numbers, remains on dial-up. Home and local ISPs still operate in certain remote regions. LTE connectivity might exist, but Verizon is likely the sole provider due to their specialized long-range antenna system. Occasionally, older GSM networks are still active. It’s uncommon for multiple carriers to serve the same market. Any other options come with extremely high roaming fees, and GSM data caps are limited at 9600kbps. Surprising roaming costs can be reduced by choosing the right carrier. Some locations even lack OTA television access. The only consistent service is radio. A HAM standard exists for packet data, but setting it up is difficult and may require a HAM license. It’s generally point-to-point communication.
